Free initial wave packets and the long-time behavior of the survival and nonescape probabilities
The behavior of both the survival S(t) and nonescape P(t) probabilities at
long times for the one-dimensional free particle system is shown to be closely
connected to that of the initial wave packet at small momentum. We prove that
both S(t) and P(t) asymptotically exhibit the same power-law decrease at long
times, when the initial wave packet in momentum representation behaves as O(1)
or O(k) at small momentum. On the other hand, if the integer m becomes greater
than 1, S(t) and P(t) decrease in different power-laws at long times.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Title and organization changed, however the

Full time nonexponential decay in double-barrier quantum structures
We examine an analytical expression for the survival probability for the time
evolution of quantum decay to discuss a regime where quantum decay is
nonexponential at all times. We find that the interference between the
exponential and nonexponential terms of the survival amplitude modifies the
usual exponential decay regime in systems where the ratio of the resonance
energy to the decay width, is less than 0.3. We suggest that such regime could
be observed in semiconductor double-barrier resonant quantum structures with
appropriate parameters.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Time scale of forerunners in quantum tunneling
The forerunners preceding the main tunneling signal of the wave created by a
source with a sharp onset or by a quantum shutter, have been generally
associated with over-the-barrier (non-tunneling) components. We demonstrate
that, while this association is true for distances which are larger than the
penetration lenght, for smaller distances the forerunner is dominated by
under-the-barrier components. We find that its characteristic arrival time is
inversely proportional to the difference between the barrier energy and the
incidence energy, a tunneling time scale different from both the phase time and
the B\"uttiker-Landauer (BL) time.Comment: Revtex4, 14 eps figure
Impacts of land grabbing and agribusiness on peasant family farming in the province of Los Ríos – Ecuador
Land grabbing and agribusiness have generated serious implications for the sustainability of peasant communities in the global south. This paper analyzes perceptions of the impact of land grabbing and agribusiness on peasant family farming in three cantons of Los Ríos Province in Ecuador, using focus groups in 2020. The sustainable development framework and content analysis using NVIVO12 software were used. In the territories, negative impacts were mostly identified that seriously compromise their sustainable development, given that monocultures and the agribusiness production system have had strong implications in deforestation, loss of biodiversity, contamination of natural resources, modification of the agricultural landscape, and farmers’ health.
Keywords: land grabbing, peasants, agribusiness.
Resumen
El acaparamiento de tierras y los agronegocios han generado serias implicaciones en la sostenibilidad de comunidades campesinas del sur global. En este artículo se analizan las percepciones del impacto del acaparamiento de tierras y los agronegocios en la agricultura familiar campesina en tres cantones de la Provincia de Los Ríos en Ecuador, aplicando grupos focales en el 2020. Se empleó el marco del desarrollo sostenible y el análisis de contenidos mediante el software NVIVO12. En los territorios se identificaron mayoritariamente impactos negativos que comprometen seriamente su desarrollo sostenible, dado que los monocultivos, sistema de producción de los agronegocios, han tenido fuertes implicaciones en la deforestación, pérdida de biodiversidad, contaminación de recursos naturales, modificación paisaje agrícola y salud de los agricultores.

Sistema para el control de acceso a un centro comercial
Sequential logic systems over the years have allowed an improvement in control and access systems. This article looks for a way to use this type of logic to create an autonomous system in Verilog for the access of people to a shopping mall, which should allow the realization of counts, movement analysis, and temperature detections, which allow avoiding the direct relationship with the security employees, making this way a protection measure for situations like the one that is currently being experienced with the global pandemic. This system, due to its configuration and accessibility, must be easy to understand, therefore the operation of this project is visualized with a traffic light configuration where green represents a positive action of entry, represents an alert or emergency. The system will give a stop signal, either for high temperatures or for people over or equal to the limits.Los sistemas de lógica secuencial a lo largo de los años han permitido un mejoramiento en los sistemas de control y de acceso. Este artículo busca la manera de usar este tipo de lógica para crear un sistema autónomo en Verilog de acceso de personas a un centro comercial, el cual debe permitir la realización de conteos, análisis de movimiento y detecciones de temperatura, que permitan evitar la relación directa con los empleados de seguridad haciendo de esta forma una medida de protección para situaciones como la que se está viviendo actualmente con la pandemia mundial. Este sistema, debido a su configuración y accesibilidad, debe ser de fácil comprensión, por esto el funcionamiento de este proyecto se visualiza con una configuración de semáforo en donde el verde representa una acción positiva de ingreso, mientras que el rojo representa una alerta o emergencia. 
Composite Spin Waves, Quasi-Particles and Low Temperature resistivity in Double Exchange Systems
We make a quantum description of the electron low temperature properties of
double exchange materials. In these systems there is a strong coupling between
the core spin and the carriers spin. This large coupling makes the low energy
spin waves to be a combination of ion and electron density spin waves. We study
the form and dispersion of these composite spin wave excitations. We also
analyze the spin up and down spectral functions of the temperature dependent
quasi-particles of this system. Finally we obtain that the thermally activated
composite spin waves renormalize the carriers effective mass and this gives
rise to a low temperature resistivity scaling as T ^{5/2}.Comment: 4 pages, REVTE
SPITZER: Accretion in Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in the Lambda Orionis Cluster
We present multi-wavelength optical and infrared photometry of 170 previously
known low mass stars and brown dwarfs of the 5 Myr Collinder 69 cluster (Lambda
Orionis). The new photometry supports cluster membership for most of them, with
less than 15% of the previous candidates identified as probable non-members.
The near infrared photometry allows us to identify stars with IR excesses, and
we find that the Class II population is very large, around 25% for stars (in
the spectral range M0 - M6.5) and 40% for brown dwarfs, down to 0.04 Msun,
despite the fact that the H(alpha) equivalent width is low for a significant
fraction of them. In addition, there are a number of substellar objects,
classified as Class III, that have optically thin disks. The Class II members
are distributed in an inhomogeneous way, lying preferentially in a filament
running toward the south-east. The IR excesses for the Collinder 69 members
range from pure Class II (flat or nearly flat spectra longward of 1 micron), to
transition disks with no near-IR excess but excesses beginning within the IRAC
wavelength range, to two stars with excess only detected at 24 micron.
Collinder 69 thus appears to be at an age where it provides a natural
laboratory for the study of primordial disks and their dissipation.Comment: ApJ, in pres
YSOVAR: Six pre-main-sequence eclipsing binaries in the Orion Nebula Cluster
Eclipsing binaries (EBs) provide critical laboratories for empirically
testing predictions of theoretical models of stellar structure and evolution.
Pre-main-sequence (PMS) EBs are particularly valuable, both due to their rarity
and the highly dynamic nature of PMS evolution, such that a dense grid of PMS
EBs is required to properly calibrate theoretical PMS models. Analyzing
multi-epoch, multi-color light curves for 2400 candidateOrion Nebula Cluster
(ONC) members from our Warm Spitzer Exploration Science Program YSOVAR, we have
identified 12 stars whose light curves show eclipse features. Four of these 12
EBs are previously known. Supplementing our light curves with follow-up optical
and near-infrared spectroscopy, we establish two of the candidates as likely
field EBs lying behind the ONC. We confirm the remaining six candidate systems,
however, as newly identified ONC PMS EBs. These systems increase the number of
known PMS EBs by over 50% and include the highest mass (Theta1 Ori E, for which
we provide a complete set of well-determined parameters including component
masses of 2.807 and 2.797 solar masses) and longest period (ISOY
J053505.71-052354.1, P \sim 20 days) PMS EBs currently known. In two cases
(Theta1 Ori E and ISOY J053526.88-044730.7), enough photometric and
spectroscopic data exist to attempt an orbit solution and derive the system
parameters. For the remaining systems, we combine our data with literature
information to provide a preliminary characterization sufficient to guide
follow-up investigations of these rare, benchmark systems.Comment: Accepted by Ap
Conductance as a Function of the Temperature in the Double Exchange Model
We have used the Kubo formula to calculate the temperature dependence of the
electrical conductance of the double exchange Hamiltonian. We average the
conductance over an statistical ensemble of clusters, which are obtained by
performing Monte Carlo simulations on the classical spin orientation of the
double exchange Hamiltonian. We find that for electron concentrations bigger
than 0.1, the system is metallic at all temperatures. In particular it is not
observed any change in the temperature dependence of the resistivity near the
magnetical critical temperature. The calculated resistivity near is
around ten times smaller than the experimental value. We conclude that the
double exchange model is not able to explain the metal to insulator transition
which experimentally occurs at temperatures near the magnetic critical
temperature.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures included in the tex
